[AK-VHF] NET: Saturday, Dec. 15 - 9am

[Edward R Cole]

Dale,

Thanks for the report.  I am cc this to the AK-VHF reflector for all to see.

Due to issues accessing the 147.33 repeater from the Kenai Peninsula 
it has been suggested that the KL7AA repeater on 146.94 (103.5 Hz 
tone needed) be used.  I guess courtesy would be to ask the AARC 
permission to use the repeater for our net.  I am cc: Jim Wiley, 
KL7CC, as he responded when we asked about using 147.27.

I will not be able to run the net next week (maybe check-in long 
enough to start it) as I have to head to work by 9:15am   I did talk 
with my supervisor about return of normal work schedules after the 
holidays and he assured me that was going to happen.  I was scheduled 
working 11am-8pm on Saturdays which allowed running the net 9-10am.

I will get an e-mail out on reply from KL7CC before next weekend.

73, Ed - KL7UW
